Based on the general principle of the unity of the nature of interacting entities and the principle of the relativity of motion, as well as following the requirement of an indissoluble and conditioning connection of space and time, the model of a discrete space-time consisting of identical interacting particles is proposed as the most acceptable one. We consider the consequences of the discreteness of space, such as: the occurrence of time quanta, the limiting speed of signal propagation, and the constancy of this speed, regardless of the motion of the reference frame. Regularly performed acts of particles of space-time (PST) interaction ensure the connectivity of space, set the quantum of time and the maximum speed – the speed of light. In the process of PST communication, their mixing occurs, which ensures the relativity of inertial motion, and can also underlie quantum uncertainty. In this case, elementary particles are spatial configurations of an excited "lattice" of PST, and particles with mass must contain loop structures in their configuration. A new interpretation of quantum mechanics is proposed, according to which the wave function determines the probability of destruction of a spatial configuration (representing a quantum object) in its corresponding region, which leads to the contraction of the entire structure to a given, detectable component. Particle entanglement is explained by the appearance of additional links between the PST – the appearance of a local coordinate along which the distance between entangled objects does not increase. It is shown that the movement of a body should lead to an asymmetry of the tension of the bonds between the PST – to the asymmetry of its effective gravity, the establishment of which is one of the possibilities for experimental verification of the proposed model. It is shown that the constancy of the speed of light in a vacuum and the appearance of relativistic effects are based on ensuring the connectivity of space-time, i.e. striving to prevent its rupture.
This article is devoted to the development of the scientific concept of discretenessin jurisprudence, as well as consideration of the possible applicationof the term. Various manifestations of discreteness are studied, the conclusionon the need to allocate two forms of discreteness is made: discreteness of law(historical) and discreteness of legislation (law), the interrelation of theseterms is considered, their content is disclosed. The discreteness of law in itshistorical meaning, is defined as discontinuity in the process of the fluent successionof law, historical discontinuity in the process of developing of law fora particular state, reflected in failure in functioning of the legal system, whichnominally exists in a given period of time (its inapplicability of regulation inthe societal relations), or cessation of existence of a previously functioningsystem of law as a result of factors of foreign policy or domestic policy or bothat the same time. The discreteness in the purely legal meaning is the discretenessof legislation, the situation when intermittence is peculiar to current law,there is heterogeneity of the law-controller, and if you expand the interpretationof the definition, one can see heterogeneity of legal regulation. The manifestationof legislative discreteness and their causes with the purpose of establishingthe possibility to overcome the legislative discreteness is considered. ; Статья посвящена разработке научного понятия дискретности вюридической науке, а также рассмотрению возможного примененияданного термина. Исследованы различные проявления дискретности,сделан вывод о необходимости выделения двух форм дискретности:дискретности права (исторической) и дискретности законодательства(юридической), рассмотрено соотношение данных понятий, раскрытоих содержание. Дискретность права в историческом смысле определе-на как прерывистость в процессе плавно текущего преемства права,историческая прерывистость в процессе развития права конкретногогосударства, отражающаяся в нефункционировании той правовой сис-темы, которая номинально существует в данный промежуток времени(ее неприменимость к регулированию существующих в обществе пра-воотношений), либо в прекращении существования ранее функциони-ровавшей системы права в результате внешнеполитических, внутри-политических или внешних и внутреннеполитических факторов одно-временно. Дискретность в чисто юридическом смысле – это дискрет-ность законодательства, ситуация, когда действующему законодатель-ству присуща прерывистость, выражающаяся в неоднородности зако-на-регулятора, а если расширять толкование определения, то и в неод-нородности правового регулирования. Рассмотрены формы проявле-ния законодательной дискретности и их причины с целью последую-щего установления возможности преодоления законодательной дис-кретности.

This paper explores a paradox. We breathe in, and then out. We walk by making paces, alternating left and right feet. Walking and breathing are made up of discrete intervals of space and time, involuntary actions of the living body, sustaining continuity. Continuity in movement is constituted by its opposite. The necessity to transpose the weight of our body between first the left and then the right foot creates motion. By analysing these discrete movements, it becomes possible to transpose them into languages of signs and symbols – notation, drawing, documenting what has happened to inform what might happen. Creativity intervenes, allowing us to vary the patterns playfully, because it is possible to do so with this kind of notational knowledge or trace. Languages of form building in art thereby constitute an effective, visual, embodied method of understanding how the body moves: a complex dialogue between gravity's pull towards stasis, the centre of the earth, countered by the urge to move from that centre into motion, into life.We will take two examples of artistic processes: one in the visual arts and the other, musical performance to explore how notational practices such as scores that are used by artists in the process of developing their work, can and do inform understandings of embodiment more generally.

Identity, difference, mutual mediation and mutual transition of the opposites of continuity and discreteness in human existence constitute a dialectical logical basis for the interpretation of a number of important problems of sociocultural existence. These are problems of self-realization and alienation of the individual in society, horizontal continuity and discreteness of an individual's existence in value-based activities (work, cognition, play), problems of explaining the moments of vertical dynamics of continuity and discreteness in the layers of social existence. As a result of such an interpretation, it becomes possible to present the sociocultural existence of a person, on the one hand, holistic, on the other hand, multifaceted, productively diverse. Continuity appears as an undivided whole of culture as a single means of man's relationship to the world. Its basic internal heterogeneities serve as the basis for discreteness, division into layers of sociocultural existence depending on the specific cultural means on each of them. The internal continuity of each layer is ensured by the preservation of the qualitative characteristics of the corresponding cultural medium. Each of the layers has vertical continuity within itself, has a "volume", but retains its characteristics within the boundaries of the measure. The transition from layer to layer presupposes a break in gradualism, discreteness.

The article formulates the question about the countability of material existence, which is the key question for determining the structure of the universe. There are three answers to this question: material existence is count-able, unquantifiable or indivisible. The ontologically grounded and unambiguous definition of the concepts "division of matter" and "motion of matter" allows excluding the variants of unquantifiable and indivisible mate-rial existence. By analyzing the known laws of nature development (transition of quantitative changes into qualitative ones and negation of negation) it is evident that they correspond to the countable material being. Isomorphism phenomenon is considered, the existence of which serves as evidence of the ultimate complexity of material existence and, consequently, of its countability. It is stated that being is a totality of matter (in the form of primary particles) and emptiness possessing primary properties determining all the variety of forms and laws of the universe.

Abstract
Discreteness, one of the design features of language, along with arbitrariness, etc., makes language much more flexible, productive and precise than other communicative systems. Although it mainly applies to the description of the secondary level of language structure, discreteness can also explain meaningful units, such as morphemes or words, at the primary level. Due to its discreteness, language is regarded, in semiotics, as "digital", in contrast with "analogical". Partially owing to the discreteness or discontinuity, language enables humankind to conceptualize and perceive the world and themselves with a kind of precision. However, this does not mean that language can mirror the world. Actually many things ( especially intangible things) in the world are not so discrete but rather gradable or continuous. Therefore, linguistic signs or words used to deal with them do not match them absolutely. There are gaps between words and what they refer to. To deal with this gap, sense and reference, two aspects of meaning, are employed in this paper, though with certain modification. While the sense of a word (or its dictionary meaning) is explicitly definable, its referential meaning may not. Some emotive and evaluative words may have certain variation of references continuously on a scale though their senses are discrete. Some common nouns' extensions or their referential meanings are also continuous. Words of this kind are found vague or fuzzy though they are clearly definable and in contrast in their senses. It is a worthwhile effort to probe into the nature of discreteness in both linguistic and semiotic contexts. To do this job presupposes reconsidering the classification of meaning, especially when taking into account the dichotomy between precision and vagueness of linguistic signs.

This article discusses the issues of continuity discreteness in the national state-legal system in theoretical interpretation and practical implementation. The article analyzes a counter-demonstrative socio-legal process involving non-acceptance (in some cases, active and demonstrative denial) of the continuity of national political-legal or socio-social provisions. Certain types, features, causes and political and legal consequences of continuity discreteness in the Russian state are identified. The practical manifestations of the rejection of the continuity of law are investigated. The relevance of continuity as the most important element of preserving the original national legal material for subsequent state-legal formations is emphasized, which in practice constitutes the legal self-identification of the domestic society at every stage of the reform of the state-legal system, including the modern period.
